[view] [edit] [purge] Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PlainCiteLore/doc.

Usage

This template exactly like Template:CiteLore, with two exceptions. First, it is not a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{CiteLore}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain Lore is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

{{PlainCiteLore |url= |title= |sectitle= |date=~~~~~}}

URL

The URL to the lore, including the http://. Unlike other Game Guide features, direct section links are not possible.

Title

The title of the lore or history, found at the top of the page in the tan ovoid header.

Sectitle

The title of the section which you are citing. They appear in bold text aligned to the left of the page. If there are no section headers or only one header, use sectitle=no - this is preferable to leaving it blank as it removes the maintenance category.

Date

Leave this field as ~~~~~, it will auotmatically be converted to the proper date and time format. When verifying the reference, delete whatever is provided and change it to ~~~~~.

Notes

Optional. This parameter allows you to add text beginning one space after end end of the citation. Having no formatting (meaning you will have to format it yourself), this area can be used for anything you require.

Name

Optional. If you want to use this reference more than once, you must name it the first time you use it, then whenever you want to use it again, add {{NamedRef|name}} wherever you want it to re-appear.
